Add 2 tablespoons of salted butter to the mixture and mix well.

Pour in 4 cups of heavy cream (or milk) and stir until well combined.

Season the gravy to taste with thyme leaves, sage (optional), and dry parsley flakes.

Simmer the gravy until it thickens, which shouldn't take too long.

Serve the gravy over your favorite biscuits.
